Toddlers Gone Wild!!!

We've had some unseasonably warm weather for the Pacific NW so far this year. Lucky for the boys, that meant their first experience with popsicles. After being witness to the gooey, sticky, sugary, brightly colored aftermath - it might be their last! ;)
Chillin':

Michael unfortunately inherited his messy eating habits from me:

Tommy, relatively tidy:

Michael's popsicle "melt"down. Seriously - he was very upset that the treat he'd been holding tightly in his hand had disappeared.

Popsicle sticks are treasures, and therefore belong in the not-so-secret hiding spot:

After one more taste...

After the demise of the popsicles, both of the boys ventured out into the yard clad only in their diapers, sandals, and new body paint. I couldn't help but giggle as they wandered around mostly naked through the trees and bushes. Something about it just seemed so oddly out of place or, at the very least, some kind of fashion faux pas... like wearing socks with sandals. ;)
Off for some naked exploring:


Poor Tommy lost the last of his popsicle in the dirt - luckily the dog snatched it up before Tommy could try out the 5 second rule. :)


I guess the cuteness and entertainment factor is enough to ensure that they will be getting popsicles again very soon!
